STATEMENT OF THE HONORABLE ANTHONY J. PRINCIPI
SECRETARY OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
February 4, 2004
Closing
Mr. Chairman, VA has achieved numerous successes
during the last 3 years that have significantly
improved service to our country�s veterans. We have
enhanced veterans� access to our health care services
that set the national standard with regard to quality;
improved the timeliness of health care delivery;
expanded programs for veterans with special health
care needs; dramatically lowered the time it takes to
process veterans� claims for benefits; and expanded
access to our national cemetery system. The
President�s 2005 budget will provide VA with the
resources necessary to continue to improve our
delivery of benefits and services, particularly for
veterans with service-connected conditions, those with
lower incomes, and veterans with special health care
needs.
